ATLANTA BISHOP Writes Scathing Letter agianst Senator & Investigation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thad]

Senator Chuck Grassley - The Enemy of Ministry
Pastors and Ministers
This is the face of The Enemy of Ministry



Dear Pastor and Christian Minister, Your rights as a Pastor, Minister, Evangelist or CEO of a Christian - Non-Profit Church or Organization is being threatened by the Enemy of Ministry - Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa. I have sent him many emails and have called his office many times in the last week and have not received one reply from him or anyone in his office.

Senator Grassley has launched an intensive investigation into the Christian Ministries of several High Profile Pastors and Ministries. He has sent demand letters to Bishop Eddie Long, Pastors Crefflo and Taffi Dollar, Pastor Benny Hinn, Joyce & Dave Myer, Pastor's Randy and Paula White and Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. If he can do this to six, (with others on the waiting list) he can do it to 60, then 600, then 6000. He has no right or power or jurisdiction to launch such an investigation. It is pure intimidation and blackmail for him or anyone to say, If you don't give me what I want, I will haul you before the senate for questioning. What a shame and a disgrace for a man that calls himself a Christian. We must stand together against these demands against Christian Ministers, Pastors and Churches.

Please write or phone Senator Grassley's offices. He has MANY offices at tax payer expense.
Please call and write and tell them you are against his investigation into the Christian Ministers and Churches and you want him to stop his demands. He needs to leave the investigation to the IRS and those that are responsible to investigate these Non-profit organizations. I think Mr. Grassley needs to be investigated for his extravagance in keeping seven offices and many employees at Tax Payer Expense! This man needs to apologize to the Pastors, Minister's and Churches of America for his role in harassing the ministry.

This is a very very good point and should be taken very seriously!!!


You know no one forced people to give to these ministries, some have followers that support them on the monthly basis. These folks/partners what have you give of their own free will they can stop or not give at anytime.


We may not like how these big ministries live but, if they didnt have followers who follow them out of their own freedom of choice to do so, they would not have the lifestyles they have.

In other words, I do not think the government has a right to dictate what ministries we support, and what those ministries choose to do with their support.

[RevDWW]

Romans 13:1 - 10 (KJV)
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Hmmmm, does this have any bearing on this issue?

This is all true....and by the same principle then Folks who defraud others shouldn't be held accountable either...because they were given money by others of their free will... same principle...

It appears that AB is no Apostle Paul.....I don't recall Paul belly aching about having to go before magistrates, rulers, and kings.....of course it was his doctrine that was in question and not his finances....where was that passage he wrote about "money cometh"?
